The curse (open)

[Glitch/Gyro]

March 1 2025 12:25 am some where on the nemesis





Yet another night was being wasted by those who worked in this dark place. For one con though this did not matter. What did matter to her was the fact that she was not pleased with being stuck in some small room typing up some data that she could care less about she was a con of science not a typewriter . So why was she stuck doing this ? Because the other cons were not smart enough to do it she supposed. That was the only reason that she could think of anyhow. So she now leaned back from her workstation to rest her bicolor optics for a second. This was pointless in her mind. She should not be working for the very cons who took her away from her rightful home. She should hate them. But instead she was sort of thankful to them. Now she could serve in the war just like she wanted. Well this was not exactly what she wanted but still it was better then nothing. There was a draw back to this though. The con was stuck living with those who had taken her from her home and made her in to a monster. Enter her other half. The part of her that had started to form when she started to lose her sanity little by little. Gyro hated those around her and often got glitch in to trouble. The young con was used to it though. Just like she was used to working for her captors . Even if she hated then with every fiber of her being.



The con now turned back to her work staring at her data pad every now and again. For the moment she was not going to have to waste her time talking to the other cons. That was good because glitch hated company with a passion. Though she did like to watch her fellow cons as they scurried around the base obeying their dark master. Yeah like she was afraid of that oaf. She would tell him what she thought about him just as fast as she would tell any other con or bot what she thought of them. That they were all below her and that she had better things to do then to take their orders or fight them though she did love a good fight and she did wish to live. There was a reason she watched others that though. Her other half like to pick victims to attack when they were not looking. Heh that was actually kind of fun. She shook her head now as she heard the sound of another entering her workstation. They were near the door because she could feel their presence. Then they came inside. Oh what did they want now? She turned around and looked at the newcomer with a dark glare. She did not have time for this. “ state your business .” she said in a cold flat tone. They probably could see that she was in no mood for visitors . But at least she chose to talk to them instead of just ignoring them as usual.

[Dreadwing]

Everything was horribly quiet lately. Megatron had not given any new orders lately, nor did the Autobots seem very active. Perhaps there was just not much to do right now. Everyone was in a stalemate, at a stand still, and Dreadwing was growing more and more anxious. Well, he would wait for as long as he needed for Megatron to give him a new mission. For now, he was just going to patrol the base. Everyone seemed busy at work, maintaining the Nemesis and trying to keep everything going smoothly. His red eyes shifted left and right and he gave a rather bored sigh. His foot-steps echoed down the hall as he moved, a light clanking of metal hitting metal. All was quiet, machines were humming, vehicons tapping away at keys. There were the lights and glares of various screens as he would pass by. The vehicons all paid him respect here. They knew who he was among the Decepticons, though he knew not to enforce his authority, he would if someone was stepping out of line and not following the Decepticon way.

Dreadwing walked into another room, only to met with the cold flat tone of a fellow Decepticon, but he decided not to let it get to him, "I'm simply passing by." The second-in-command said before continuing onwards. He was not the type to let disrespect get to him, so long as it was not done toward Megatron, then there would be a problem. Well, he really had nothing to say to her, so he was not sure what to say to her. Suddenly, he stopped and looked to her, "Anything to report?" He said, hoping she found something for them to do.

[Glitch/Gyro]

The young female con stood quietly as she looked the con before her over. He was a rather intimidating con to look at that was for sure. However she was not going to show him that she was afraid of him. She knew one thing though ,that he was one of those who ranked highly in megatrons book. What a waste that was trying to impress a leader who only wanted to lead the cons to their own demise. Oh well everyone will die one day she supposed. She just did not plan to die anytime soon. While she was impulsive at times she was not stupid. She would never try to stand up to those who ranked above her. At least not physically. Though she did have a bad habit of snapping at then when they asked her something stupid. She hated stupid cons and their questions. Her green eyes darkened slightly as she felt the dark presence in her head stir again. Gyro did not care for this one. Then again gyro never cared for anyone no matter who they were. For the moment though she was able to keep her darker half hidden from those around her. If it ever came out she knew that they would probably kill her. She cleared such thoughts out of her head for the moment it would not serve her well to get upset.


The female frowned at the con as she heard him speak now. If he expect her respect him well he was talking to the wrong con. She hated megatron and all who worked for him because of what they did to her. She heard him say that he was passing by. Well that was a relief to her. The young female just stood silently watching him as he started to leave. She did not see a reason to reasoned to his statement. She looked at the screen behind her as she heard a slight sound from it. What was making the monitor do that? Probably nothing to worry about but since the male was around she would look anyhow. Almost as if the con were physic he turned back to her and asked if she had anything to report. Oh that was a dumb question to ask. If she did have something to report she would have said so. Well actually she just now had something come up though. She could maybe find something to do besides type all night. Right now though she was looking at the screen with interest. It looked like someone would have something to do tonight anyhow. She turned to him with that same dark glare in her bicolored optics. “ well I was going to tell you no. however it seems that you have good timing . There appears to be a small disturbance of some sort in that vancenity. If you want my guess it is probably a small store of energon or something.” stated the scientist in that same dark flat tone she had used before. She the pointed to the area that she had been talking about. If he looked at the screen the con could clearly see what she was talking about. She was not really wanting to do much for these cons. But she could not tell him that nothing was going one when there was clearly something happing nearby.

[Dreadwing]

Moving back over to her, Dreadwing looked to the screen to see the disturbance that she spoke about. Giving a nod, he looked to her, "No doubt Megatron will want us to investigate. Get the coordinates and I will get a ground bridge activated. You will be coming with me." He said, knowing Megatron would be most pleased if they retrieved more Energon or something even better. Why did he want to bring this one with him? Simply because it would put her to good use. After he had said that, he ran down the hallway to talk to some Vehicons and get a ground bridge activated on the coordinates. The Vehicons would be coming too, just in case something went wrong. There was always safety in numbers and since Dreadwing had the resources at hand, he knew he may as well use them. Once they were ready to go, he returned to the other.

"By the way, what is your name?" He said, since he was not sure how to call her. It was impossible for him to know the names of every single Cybertronian, or non-Cybertronian here. He had little desire to learn the names of all of the drones. Actually, he had little desire to learn of this femmebot's name, but had asked anyways. If he ever needed to address her, or report her to Megatron, then he would at least want to know what to call her when he did.

[Glitch/Gyro]

The con just simple watch the other as he looked at the screen now. Well it was not like she was going to lie to him. Though the thought of that made her smile slightly. Though she knew better then to do such things like that. She really did not want to be punished or something just yet. Not that she ever chose to be in trouble in the first place. She now saw him give a nod and look at her. She gave him an odd look as he spoke. Waite he wanted her to go with him? Yeah that was the order. Well she would comply with it all the same. “indeed he would. Of course I shall do so immediately. Huh? Err I mean yes of course” she said with a slight smile though her tone remain cold and flat. she really did not want anything to do with this con but she did not have a choice in the matter. She then turned back to the screen and slowly started to get the coordinates he had wanted. If he wanted them faster then he would have to get them himself. Glitch never had been one to rush around and do things quickly. That would waste energy in her mind. Plus she really did not care rather she pleased these cons or not. After she was finished she stood from her seat waited for him to return. Who was he anyhow some high ranked con? Heh yeah right these high ranks did not care to be near a grunt like herself. Or so she thought anyhow. She felt her other half stir again. Well if they ran in to trouble that would be a good thing. But if they did not her other half was rather unpredictable. Good thing she had control of gyro for the moment.



She tapped her fingers against the side of the table as she waited for him to entered. She found herself wondering what would happen if this turned out to be a glitch in the system. She shivered as that though ran threw her mind. Most cons would be upset. She would hoped that they could find something down there. That way he could please his master and she could get the heck away from him. “ hehe should have kept quiet.” mumbled her other side now. She frowned and whispered “ yeah he was right there he would have heard anyhow” she then tried to ignore her other half’s rant about how she kissed up to the cons. She now snapped from her thoughts as the con returned to were she was standing. Well it was bout time he got back. She saw the vehicons standing around behind him as well. Well she was right to think that he was high ranking that was for sure. Though his question caught her off guard. Why in the pit would he want to know her name? it was not like she wanted to tell him that much about herself. Though once again she knew better then to defy those who ranked above her. “ well I am glitch or gyro whatever you wanna call me. What’s your name?” she said asking the question back to him with a slight frown. This time though instead of the tone of her voice being cold and flat it was more along the lines of dark and sarcastic. That though was because she hated stupid questions and that was yet another stupid question in her mind.

[Dreadwing]

Dreadwing was on the move and had a destination in mind. He was waiting on those coordinates by the time he had rounded up some more Drones. Looking to her, he hoped she would get them pretty soon. How long did it take to find those coordinates anyways? He almost wanted to ask her if she had gotten them yet but knew that he needed to simply be patient. It was then she had introduced herself and asked for his name, "I am Commander Dreadwing." He said to her, "Let me know once you get those coordinates. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can get the Energon before the Autobots detect it." He said to her, since he did want to get the Energon before the Autobots would show up and ruin everything or cause trouble for them getting the Energon.

Dreadwing had no idea of her other self, and should he have known, well, that would have probably led to bad things for her. Anyone who had questionable loyalties to the Decepticon cause, to him, was not worthy of any patience. He would attack them on the spot. The purple and yellow robot waited for her to get the coordinates so they could open a ground bridge and investigate the strange signal. Hopefully it was not some sort of trap set by the Autobots, but he would fight if he had to.

[Glitch/Gyro]

The young con gave a slight sigh as she finished getting the coordinates . She then turned to him with a slight smile. She could have taken longer but figured that would have upset him a bit. Though she figured that he was slightly impatient with her right now. She then heard him give his name. oh he was a commander ? Well that was not really surprising to her. After all she had already guessed that he ranked highly anyhow. It was still hard to believe that he wished for her to go with him. Oh well stranger things have happened that was for sure. ” oh so you are a commander? Well pardon me if I do not address you properly. That is just not the way I function . “ she said in a sarcastic tone. She did not call anyone by their rank. she then paused for a second before adding. “ oh and here are those coordinates you wanted. Yes they seemed to show up at just the wrong times.” she said with a lighter tone this time. She hated autobots just as much as she hated her fellow cons. Of course she always kept such things to herself so that she remained out of trouble. Though sometimes they seemed to just pop out before she could stop them. But she had the feeling that if that happened around this one she would pay.


Glitch was now waiting for him to give the order for them to leave. She did wonder why he would want to gather an entire army just to go look at one tiny signal. Heck it could just be something that they did not even need to look at. But that was not very likely . She hoped that it was something good. So they needed to get going so they could see what it was. Once they did that the could find whatever was down there, perhaps beat up a few autobots and go home. That would work out just fime for her that was for sure. That would let her allow her darker half to come out with out him knowing. Unless gyro spoke that is. She sigh whispering softly to herself now. She was telling her other half to remain clam . She did not want her to pop out suddenly. Oh this was the curse of having another side to your persona. You never had complete control over yourself.

[Dreadwing]

Dreadwing heard the sarcastic tones that came from her. He gave a frown, but decided not to let it get to him. "I don't care if you do or not, but you best not act like that around lord Megatron." He said but decided not to press it further. She finally had those coordinates and he turned to the drones as they used them to open a Ground Bridge. The spinning green and white circular thing appeared next to them and Dreadwing motioned for them to follow as he moved through it. While he was not sure why everyone casually walked through it, he wanted to run, but decided to just casually walk since he was uncertain if the Autobots had arrived yet.

Once he stepped through, he looked around and began to look for the place where the disturbance was located. Hopefully it was not a glitch in the system, or Dreadwing would be angry for her having wasted valuable resources for nothing. The second-in-command was not about to go any further until she had followed him through, as well as the other Vehicons. It did not take long for them to arrive with him. Dreadwing had his cannon out, and the Vehicons their weapons ready, just in case they had arrived too late, but for now all seemed quiet.

[Glitch/Gyro]

The female con just smiled to him when he gave a frown at her words she did not care what he thought about her. After all she was not here to make impressions on those who worked around her or in this case with her. All she wanted to do right now was get this mission done . Hopefully this would yield some results. Glitch was rarely wrong when she made a guess as to what was out there when she happen to find something like this. She was not a scientist because she was stupid . No she was more intelligent then most of these cons. It was just the she did not show this all that often because if she ever did she might be forced to make weapons for these fools or something. She just would not like to do something like that. She now heard the con say something to her. Yeah she was not that stupid. “ oh I do not plan to do that. I rarely see him much less talk to him.” she stated flatly. Had the male made the mistake of yelling at her for her remark well he would have been confronted by gyro. Gyro did not allow others to try and push glitch around. That was why the female was so unfriendly towards others. She could not afford to make friends with gyro around.

As the space bridge open she saw everyone take their time as they entered it. Oh this was just great . What did they think she was lying. Well it was not her fault if the cons had glitch monitors. She got the feeling though that he would probably be like the others and blame the nearest one to them. She thought about just letting him go and not following him. But as with all things if she did that he would punish her. So she stepped threw the bridge behind the rest of the drones. As she stepped out of the bridge she tool out her whip incase there was any trouble here. Her whip was her favorite weapon after all. That and she had seen that the others had their weapons ready. As she scanned the area she found where the signal had been coming from. She already knew exactly where to look because she had been looking at the monitor. She was just going to wait a second and see if he noticed it or not. That way she would not be accused of trying to make him look stupid. She now looked at him with a slight frown waiting on his orders or whatever he wanted to do now.

[Dreadwing]

"You would be wise to plan that." Dreadwing said off-handedly to the femmebot. It was then the Ground Bride had opened and he moved through with her. There was no need to hurry really, since rushing could probably send them right into line of fire. Once everyone was through, Dreadwing looked to her before looking around and then starting off with the Vehicons towards the area. He wondered what could ever be there, since she was not sure if it was Energon or something else. His feet sank slightly into the ground beneath him with each step. His red eyes kept sweeping back and forth, from left to right as he looked for anything out of the ordinary, since he was not entirely sure what he was even looking fore.

Hopefully, they would find whatever it was pretty quickly or perhaps she would have a better grasp of what they were looking for. Anything could help them. It could be anything from Energon to an old weapon of some sort left behind. Anything that would help the Decepticon cause would be enough to really celebrate and be good for everyone involved.

[Glitch/Gyro]

The con just smiled to his statement. She did not feel that there was a need to reply to him now. Really glitch did not like to talk to others a whole lot She would rather avoid them if that was at all possible.. She looked over the land as she exited the bridge. It was a rather rocky and dry place she noted. What better place to hide something good then. She smiled at that thought because that would probably make him and the other cons very happy. That would mean that they would leave her alone for a while. There was the source she noted now. She then turned to see where the male had gone off to. Oh well he was not to far away from her. She simply smiled now as he looked around for the signal. She could just let him continue to do that when she already knew where it was. However she wanted away from him as fast as she could. She turned to him and started to say something to him. Then she felt the feeling of her other side stirring around. Oh please do not come out now. Her eye now had a bluer tone to them as the dark presence came over her. It about that time that her other persona came out. Gyro wanted to play mind games with this con and for them that was probably not very smart for them to be doing. Though really poor glitch did not have a say in the matter. Whatever gyro did she had to do as well.Before glitch could stop her other self gyro stated “ you might want to try looking over there unless you just like to waste our time. though if that is the case the by all means keep looking over there.” snorted gyro as she nodded towards a small valley below them. Her tone was slightly darker the glitches and a lot less female. She was not really sure what was down there though. All she knew was that he and her other half was looking for it. Now she figured that she had gotten her and her other half in to trouble. Gyro simply liked to push her luck a little to much. Then as suddenly as she came out she switch back to her other half glitch.


Glitch now gave a slight cringe as she was once more in control.Well there when her plan of hiding her other side from this con. it was not as if she had wanted gyro to pop out like that. it just she came out on her own. Oh no now she was worried for her safety. She was not going to apologize for what her other side said though. After all there was a reason why everyone wanted to stay out of her path. So she just remain quiet and awaited his response. Surely though he would be more interested in what was down below them right? Well she certainly hoped that was the case.

[Dreadwing]

Dreadwing was finding himself increasingly annoyed at her blatant disrespect toward him. Of course, he was not going to say anything unless she impeded the progress of things or something like that, did what he told her not to do, that sort of thing. He looked to the valley that she had pointed out and did not really notice her change in tone, or if he did, he did not really care. He was quite docile and usually not the type to attack unless provoked or if he sees someone he considers his mortal enemy, but even then he has some reservations and tact. He gestured for the Vehicons with him to follow them as he began to make his way down the valley. "You could have said something earlier. We don't even really know what it is we are looking for!" Dreadwing exclaimed, finding himself rather annoyed by that. It was something he thought was on everyone's mind. He certainly did not want to be led on a wild vermin chase. Honestly, he had no clue of Glitch or her other side Gyro, and so long as Gyro did not attack him, he would not care. Of course, that went to anyone who attacked him. Go after him and the gloves come off, and he will make sure they regret it.

[Glitch/Gyro]

Glitch just kind of looked at him as he looked in to the valley. She was ignore gyro as she stirred again. There was no way that glitch was going to let her out again. She knew that if she did gyro would just cause more trouble then she already had. She could senses that he was not very pleased with her at the moment. Well if he did not think that there was anything out here then why did he go out here in the first place? And of course it was not her fault if they just when out here for nothing. She was not planning on getting in his way any time soon that was for sure. She wanted away from him not to be near him for longer. It was gyro who was always causing trouble for her. Gyro did things just to see what the reaction would be. And it was usually not a very good one at that. “ hehe well you know what he is not that mad at us. Maybe we should change that.” gyro stated to her other half in a barely audible tone. Glitch just shook her head and stated back to her. “ stop gyro you going to get us in trouble.” mumbled glitch as she started down the valley behind the male. She hoped that he had not heard gyros stupid comments. She then glared at him as he made his statement. Well it was not her fault that she did not know where it was at until she looked around a second. “ yes I suppose I could have. Well that is not my fault now is it? “ she snapped back at him as she slid down the side of the cliff. She was smart enough to know that was his way of blaming her of sending then after something that was not there. That was not the case. She was hardly ever wrong when she said what was supposed to be at a location. Now she hoped that she could prove that to him. Now she was mad at him though she would not say anything about it. She had better things to do. She gave a slight smile as she saw just what was at the bottom of the valley as she got closer to the bottom. It was a large deposit of energon crystals. But what was strange was where they were located. They were in the bottom of a hole at the bottom of the valley that was quiet deep. It was a wonder that they had not seen the hole from above. She suddenly stopped not wanting to fall in to the hole. She the lost her balance and stumbled avoiding the large hole as she did so. She did however end up falling on her backside due to her little accident. Well now she looked like some sort of idiot. She then looked behind her to see where he was at. “ ouch. Uh well there is your energy signal. Though getting down in there could be a problem.” she said as she sat on the ground for a moment as she gathered her senses once again.

[Dreadwing]

"I was talking about you not pointing out the location in the valley, not the fact that we have no idea what we are looking for." Dreadwing said as he moved along and down into the valley. He wondered how much longer it would be before he finally got fed up with her disrespect and tried to put her back into her place. For now he just continued until they found the hole that was deep and in it was most certainly energon crystals. He looked to her as she nearly stumbled before giving a sigh. "Well, we can't just jump in there. There would be the problem of trying to get it out and if we tried to use our jets to slow us down it could erupt the Energon." He said, beginning to think before turning to the Vehicons, "We will need a crane of some sorts to reach down in there." He added, looking to each one, "Go find something to lower us down there. We may have to make the hole bigger to lower a platform down so we can mine and carry the energon out safely." He said as the Vehicons opened a ground bridge to return to the Nemesis in order to find something to use as a crane or elevator of sorts.

[Glitch/Gyro]

Glitch just gave a sight when she heard his words. She knew that she did not need to tell him that she was going to tell him nicely where the signal was coming from but gyro had popped out about that time. However there was one fault to glitch ,no matter how smart she was supposed to be she was still impulsive at times. This would be one of those times when that trait made her say something that she should not have. “ well for your information I was going to tell you nicely . My other side just had other ideas. Oh wait I said too much.” glitch stated stopping herself before she said any more. It would be a bad thing for Dreadwing to try and attack her, cause glitch really would not be able to stop her other half from attacking him back. And if he was a second in command that was worthy of the title she would be in for a world of hurt. Glitch was smart enough to realize that. She looked at him as he saw the deep hole that was filled with the precious energon crystals. She saw him look at her as she stumbled sigh. Well it was not as if she knew that there was a giant hole at the bottom of this valley. She did have to kind of wonder if something had dug such a hole or if it was just there naturally. Ahh now her scientist nature was starting to make her smile. She shook her head now so that she could focus on the main goal of the mission. Gathering the energon or whatever.


She looked to him as he spoke again. She had to resist laughing at him when he pointed out the obvious. Either he though she was stupid or he was . She was going with the latter because she knew that she was no fool. “ yeah that is a deep hole. And I for one am not to hip for just jumping in some hole or getting blown up. Pulse that would just ruin the whole point of going out here eh?” she said with a slight smile to his statement. She still held the sarcastic tone to her voice that she had used earlier. He was not going to get any respect from her any time soon that was for sure. She then stood back to her feet as he gave the vehicons their orders. Hum so he wanted to get something so that they could be lowered in to the hole. Well as long as whatever it was did not break that would work. If it broke she would defiantly be upset at them. She now looked to the male with her usual cold stare waiting for whatever orders he wanted to give.
